[speaker not understood], a significant achievement being identified at the regional level as a transit expansion priority. we expect to have a little over $64 billion available for transportation in san francisco through 20 40. now, 80% of that is going to be dedicated just to operate and maintain the existing service levels that we have today. the existing state of pavement, the existing levels of transit service. and that even doesn't quite maintain our state of good repair level. so, we have already a lot of many committed -- it takes a lot just to keep what we have going. in addition, we have commitments to baseline projects which i'll describe in just a minute. after those commitments we already have made, we have $3 billion left to cover all of our other needs. this is our -- these are the commitments that we've made already to the trans

it's often the busiest bart station outside of downtown san francisco. it's got three light rail lanes, notable bus lines. and there are currently some issues with pedestrian access and transit op -- operations at the station. there have been previous efforts to look at improving the station and there are improvements that are on the way. some improvements that have already been done, such as the west side walkway project. and more that are on the way. but there is still room for improvement. this study, the circulation study that we are managing, is looking at ways to improve the overall circulation of the area. we think that one issue that hasn't been looked at in detail before is the issue of can we rearrange some of the circulation in the area relating specifically to how the vehicles access to and from i-2 80 at ocean and [speaker not understood] avenues and whether we can reduce some of the conflicts those vehicles are having with bus operations and pedestrian access. so, this study has also produced some initial products including planning those f

you are absolutely right about education, african americans cannot come back to san francisco if they don't feel confident that we can educate their students at a very high level. their children at a very high level to give them opportunity. so, education is a key part of this outmigration. and i think we should have a stronger partnership, really between the human rights commission that is working on this and our educational system because if you look at outmigration, we also have a part in that because when you look at these scores, anyone -- any middle class african-american person would look at these scores and say, i'm not moving back here because there's nowhere i can educate my children. and that is a very real reality. so, just to get back to also what our deputy superintendent is saying, we are trying to upset the culture that we've had for many decades in the school district. as you know it is like turning the titanic around. it is hard to change a culture. it is hard to change an infrastructure that is very, very traditional in this district. and, so, i think that these sma
